The cause of a fire that resulted considerable damage to condos at Lakewood Resort Saturday night, April 23, has been further defined.

The fire marshal working with the insurance investigators have determined that new propane gas log sets in the fireplace boxes had been set too close to combustible material. The subsequent lighting of the fireplace by the occupants in unit 401 caused the combustible material to heat to its ignition temperature.
